Storm Arwen

[near northampton]

Red Warnings are up

 

[Mapantz]

They should have maps for each weather condition. The overlaying of warnings turns in to a mess.

Red warning issued

[stripeyfox]

Just a reminder of their own definition of a Red warning:

 Red warning

Dangerous weather is expected and, if you have not done so already, you should take action now to keep yourself and others safe from the impact of the severe weather.

It is very likely that there will be a risk to life, with substantial disruption to travel, energy supplies and possibly widespread damage to property and infrastructure.

When was the last red warning for wind?

This Saturday 7 separate warnings will be in effect - I want to say that is close to a record for the number of warnings active on one day? 

[Yarmy]

Just looking at the BBC website and there's virtually nothing about this storm unless you dig through.

I suppose the good people of the North-east can read all about the footballing philosophy of Ralf Rangnick as their roofs get torn off in the night.

[Bogman]

Stay safe you lot.

[Eskimo]

Yes a major city with a population of 300,000 and wider area spanning well over a million people and nothing from the large broadcasters. Not many people will have the metoffice app so news articles are the best awareness. 

[stripeyfox]

they did just mention the Red warning on 5Live.

Hmmm, I was supposed to be travelling down on the train tomorrow to see the Eagles in action after an absence of two years. I think I may need to give it a miss!

If it's in the Express, it can most likley be completely disregarded. I won't even dignify that rag with a click

Not looking good for the A1 this evening Lothian, Borders and NE England , nor A90, A96 Grampian from this afternoon onwards. 

Numerous wind and snow warnings added this morning. This is the usual time for the main updates. Better update the Front Page

Morning MWB,

How far inland would you say the strong winds will get? Are we looking at mainly those right on the coast or some a few miles inland? I'm just thinking populated cities like Newcastle and Sunderland for the NE etc and the likes of Edinburgh.

 

Looking at those charts I'd take a bet that those winds upto 80mph+ will have an impact a little way inland too. 

Hi P-M, this is tricky to say, models disagree a lot about the inland extent of gusts, and it's hard to match experiences of storms here on the south coast with modelling because official met office stations tend to be right on the coast or considerably inland.

My guess would be anywhere within 10 miles of the coast in the Borders, Northumberland, Teeside and Durham county without reasonable shelter will experience at least 70mph and within 5 miles 80mph or more, up to 85-90mph in a few spots right on the coast. Strongest winds could penetrate further inland, maybe even all the way to the Lakes, but don't know. Small chance the storm will start to subside once it gets south of Newcastle, and will be slightly less strong for Sunderland/ Hartlepool etc.

And not forgetting 80mph potential for North Wales

I think there are some fair comments here. If this was London, we'd know all about it - and rightly so. But this the UK - this is a major weather event. Not good coverage at all.

This is levelling up at its finest, the North gets levelled.

We'll know all about it if a few cars get hit by trees this evening and deaths go into double figures. Pleased to see the red warning, the met office are handling this well, but yes, this should be top headline, there's a million people in the way of this.
